[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#924931: unblock: fonts-liberation2/2.00.5-1

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package fonts-liberation2

The 2.00.5 release was just an incremental update from upstream
(released on March 4, so just-not-in-time to make it to testing after
the extended 10 days period in unstable) to improve rendering of some
specific Cyrillic glyps. Upstream is very conservative with their
updates, so I consider this harmless and a net improvement.

There are no Debian bugs reported against the fonts-liberation2
package, neither the version currently in testing nor in unstable.

I include the source debdiff, but exclude *.sfd from it. I am sure
that 5MB of fontforge delta will not help you make your decision about
this unblock request, but if required I can - of course - provide the
full output.

Thanks!

 - Fabian
